Children's Living History Timeline Book Lists








Bethlehem Books, a conservative publisher has a nice historical time line for their books along with graded readability levels.

Valerie's Living Books has the 1960's Gerrard series listed by subcategory and general readability levels, a super resource for locating more living history books that your public library is likely to have available.

The Baldwin Project, free ebooks and reprints for sale. Here are some listed by grade and historical period.

Christine Miller's All Through the Ages, Nothing New Press, Classical homeschooling education sample reading list page(freebie) for Renaissance, 15th - 16th Centuries.

Catholic, Reading Your Way Through History, Love2learn.net.

Happy Hearts at Home Living History Timeline Book List(mostly middle to late elementary) .

Heritage History, a real gem of a site with free public domain books organized by civilization and readability levels.

In James Baldwin's Fifty Famous People(2nd - 3rd grade)
, the back papers have a timeline list of all famous people covered in this book. This list can be useful for expanding upon the readings for older children. Search the names at your pubic library or Google Books for more mature readings on these people.

Books by G.A. Henty, readable online, downloadable, and organized along a historical timeline.
